BLF/MWI key for shared voicemail box - Jordan - 04-05-2013 01:21 PM
We have an Asterisk 11.1.2/FreePBX 2.11.0.0beta2.8 system running a combination of T28 and T38 handsets.
We have all the key functions, handset BLF's, Park BLF's, attended transfer via DSS, Call Flow Control with BLF status, etc working.
What I am trying to achieve is getting a DSS key to monitor a shared mailbox on a virtual extension to light up as MWI when there are messages to checked.
When pressed the key logs in to the appropriate mailbox but I have not been able to get a BLF to light up on a new messages, my present DSS key configuration is as follows:
Type=BLF
Value=*98299
Line=Line1
Ext=299
I have also tried:
Type=Voicemail
Value=*98299
Which logins in to the appropriate mailbox when pressed but does not give BLF
and:
Type=Voicemail
Value=299
Does not log in to mail, only plays the greeting and takes a message.
Is there a setting I am overlooking in the handsets or in asterisk to enable MWI monitoring?
Thanks,
Jordan.
